ISRAEL-PALESTINIAN-CONFLICT-GAZA

A picture taken from the southern Israeli border with the Gaza Strip shows a rocket being launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel on November 17, 2012. A newly installed battery of Israel’s Iron Dome air defence system, designed to intercept and destroy incoming short-range rockets and artillery shells, successfully intercepted a Gaza rocket aimed at Tel Aviv, officials said, as sirens wailed across the city for a third straight day.
